Journeys Through Space, Light and Time

Lichfield Cathedral introduces a programme of services and events inspired by the 50th anniversary of the Moon Landing.This event captured the world’s attention and imagination, opening up new perspectives on space and how we see Earth in the vast expanse of the universe.

Library Tours

Lichfield Cathedral Library houses a magnificent collection of early printed books and manuscripts, including a 15th century copy of the Canterbury Tales and one of only three surviving hand-coloured 16th century copies of Christopher Saxton's map book of Tudor England and Wales. There are a limited number of tours on offer in 2019 to view these much-loved treasures.

Lent, Holy Week & Easter

Spring is always a rich and meaningful time at the Cathedral. We observe the six weeks of preparation for Easter (known as Lent). Easter itself is a glorious forty days of celebration and thanksgiving for all that God has done in Jesus Christ.

We invite you to be part of the Cathedral’s worship and to join us for some of the many events and exhibitions we’ll be holding.
